31 year old Daniel Rich of Anniston was taken into custody just after 8:00am Wednesday – after an anonymous tip led police to his hiding place, in a vehicle parked behind a house on Spruce Avenue.

Calhoun County authorities had been looking for Rich since he managed to elude officers in a high-speed chase which started in Ohatchee on Tuesday night. He was arrested around a mile from where he ditched his vehicle.

That pursuit began in response to a report of a burglary call – Rich finally drove the vehicle into a field, where he bailed out and ran; a female in the vehicle, 28 year old Jenny Waldrep, was taken into custody at the scene; the vehicle that Rich was later found in belonged to an acquaintance that was apparently unaware the suspect was hiding inside.
